The Outpost Cafe / Lemmy interview, playing and drinking
« on: September 24, 2016, 07:47:47 AM »
kind of cool interview with Lemmy a few months before his passing. Talks about Rics, plays a little and of course has a healthy Vodka & OJ.   I didn't know he suffered from diabetes, sounds like his fingers were going numb.

Gibson Basses / ? for the NR experts
« on: September 17, 2016, 10:07:32 AM »
After years of lusting and dreaming I was finally able to round out my Thunderbird iv collection with the missing link: an original issue Non-reverse.  The bass is in really decent condition with only two significant issues, 1) a gummy feeling tone pot (hopefully i can clean and recover)  and 2) a classic crescent moon hairline crack on the tuner side of the headstock.   With string tension the crack opened up just enough to get a syringe needle in and is now glued/clamped (titebond).

on to my query for the experts..one thing that has me puzzled is the pickup screws. They're a domed head flathead wood screw.



I expected to find phillps heads just like my '64.  After looking online Ive found photos of NRs with both this type as well phillips versions.  By any chance are they original? or likely a common hardware store replacement? 

& yes, Im being overly picky...maybe its a mild case of OCD  ;D

Gibson Basses / Early Les Paul Signature
« on: August 29, 2016, 12:32:35 PM »
I feel like I've seen one someplace else before, Is there someone on this site that has one of these?  I wonder how many actually shipped in this style.

I actually like the look of the Oval pickup vs the rectangular one but not sure I could justify the price premium for an early one.

Sorry if this has already been posted but I just came across this.

I had been hoping that they would officially make one available.  Of course, I will probably need to sell a kidney to afford one. :-\

The Outpost Cafe / Bruce crashes again..

Between the touring plane and this remind me to never get on a plane with Dickinson at the helm ;D  (I know, he wast actually piloting either but still...)

Or maybe he was just hoping this would force rock critics to male comparisons between Maiden and Zeppelin.

Gibson Basses / The illusive "Cherryburst" Ripper
« on: August 18, 2016, 11:25:52 AM »
Not often that you see one of these pop up.  The finish on the headstock looks a little questionable to me, but maybe it's just been retouched.

I just don't even know what would possess someone to do this but to each their own I guess.

The Outpost Cafe / When Marvel Superheros go Rock

How often do you get to see a Norse god perform rock songs all while bending metal bars with his mouth, blowing up a hot-water-bottle and crushing concrete blocks on his chest.

Spinal Tap WISHES they came up with this show.  ;D

Gibson Basses / The TB II on ebay
« on: April 25, 2016, 05:57:40 PM »
I watched the auction end the first time and was kind of shocked no one grabbed this. Granted the photos aren't great and could be hiding a lot, and the headstock repair/refin could turn some people off.  I don't have any desire for a II but I thought i was a decent price even given the issues.

Other Bass Brands / The worlds most dangerous Thunderbird
« on: February 09, 2016, 10:04:52 AM »
When I first saw this listing I noticed the odd layout of the controls.  Then I saw the headstock-This thing could be a weapon in the wrong hands!  ;D
